Default Guys i need some help. Toyo vs nitto?

I'm on Craigslist and there's a set of toyo mts 37x13.50x20. With 50-65% tread. And there's also a set of nitto mud grapplers. 38x15.50x20. With about half tread.

Toyo. $400 obo
Nitto $450 obo
What should I do?

I hate this damn terra grapplers. They just suck on and off road. . And I've read more good reviews about the Toyos. But the nittos are bigger.

I like the look of Toyo mts more than the mud grapplers. I could be wrong but I think the mud grapplers will wear out quicker. Plus the extra weight from the 38s will weigh a lot and be hard to turn without the right size gears.

Well I think I'll go Toyos. I want a 38x13.50. But the 37s will work for now. And I just talked to a guy today about regearing so not worried about that. Honestly thinking about buying both sets and then comparing them lol

When I picked my drive shaft up today at custom carriers the guy gave me the name and number who has a shop. Loren Thomson at tomcat rebuilders. He called and the guy said he wanted to do it. I was going to wait a week or so to call and figure a price out
